Brand Tone

knowledgeable, enthusiast-focused, and specialized (aspirational: renewed commitment to the customer)

Brand Values

• •Specialization/Expertise: Offering rare, custom, and performance-oriented automotive parts.
• •Quality: Providing high-quality performance parts and refurbishment services.
• •Community/Passion: Showcasing "Customer Rides" and providing technical information suggests a connection with the automotive enthusiast community.
• •Reliability: Fulfilling orders and communicating effectively.
• •Excellent Customer Service: Responsiveness to inquiries and complaints.
• •Transparency: Easy to contact the company, phone number on site.

Best Practices

• •Honesty and Transparency Above All: Given the current negative perception, the brand *must* be upfront. If there are delays, explain them. If a part is hard to source, communicate that. Avoid making promises that cannot be kept.
• •Responsive Communication Channels: Establish and actively monitor multiple communication channels (email, phone, possibly a simple social media presence for announcements/support). Respond to inquiries within a clearly stated timeframe (e.g., 24-48 business hours). This is critical to changing perception.
• •Enthusiast to Enthusiast: Maintain a knowledgeable and passionate tone that resonates with car lovers. Use correct terminology and show genuine interest in their projects (as seen in the "Customer Rides" idea).
• •Problem-Solving Attitude: When issues arise (and they do in any business), approach them with a clear intent to resolve them fairly and efficiently. This can turn a negative experience into a neutral or even positive one.
• •Consistency is Key: Every touchpoint – website copy, product descriptions, email responses, order confirmations, and any potential social media – must reflect the desired tone and values. If the brand aims to be reliable and professional, every communication must demonstrate this.

Social Perception

largely negative among those who have attempted to do business with them recently. Acknowledge they list or have access to hard-to-find parts for classic and specialized vehicles
